Hoppy to Learn
“Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.” ~Fred Rogers
About us:
Hoppy to Learn is a resource designed for both parents and educators. Preschool is all about playful, theme-based learning—one week children might be exploring outer space, the next they’re digging up dinosaur fossils or pretending to be superheroes! Hoppy to Learn helps families join in on the fun by offering simple ways to build on the excitement from school and continue the learning at home.
Each theme is thoughtfully crafted to reflect the flow of a traditional, play-based preschool classroom and often includes engaging seasonal or holiday activities. You’ll discover creative ideas, book recommendations, and links to toys and manipulatives similar to those used in a preschool setting.
